Exploring Red Teaming to Identify New and Emerging Risks from AI Foundation Models

About this book

On 12 September 2023, RAND Europe and the Centre for Long-Term Resilience organised a virtual workshop to inform UK government thinking on policy levers to identify risks from artificial intelligence foundation models in the lead up to the AI Safety Summit in November 2023. The workshop focused on the use of red teaming for risk identification, and any opportunities, challenges and trade-offs that may arise in using this method. The workshop brought together a range of participants from across academia and public sector research organisations, non-governmental organisations and charities, the private sector, the legal profession and government. The workshop consisted of interactive discussions among the participants in plenary and in smaller breakout groups. The views and ideas discussed at the workshop have been summarised in this short report to stimulate further debate and thinking as policy around this topical issue develops in the coming months.
